Questions

About the paragraph catalog, what is the "check" symbol in grey (see blue lines) ? Why have I several check symbols in grey ? Because these paragraph tags (in grey) are not used in the document.  

Hello,In an existing file, I have selected "Courant", then I have pasted text (from internet to FM).Result : all my text in FM was underlined. In the paragraph designer "Courant", I see that "underlined" is checked.In the character designer "Titre souligné" is tagged, but it should not.And I see that each time I copy a text from internet to FM, all my text is underlined.Why ? 

I posted this question also in the Illustrator community, but maybe FrameMaker users will have more insights.I'm a "reborn" AI user. I used to work with it quite expertly about 10-15 years ago. Now I'm using it again, and it seems a lot has changed.Back when I was used it in the late 2000's, you could create a drawing in AI, save it, and then import it to Word, InDesign, FrameMaker, etc, and it would ONLY import the content of the artboard, not the entire artboard with all of its white space. Now when I create drawings and try to import them to FrameMaker, I get the entire artboard, and my graphic is just a teeny tiny image in the middle of it! This will not do.How do I fix this? Is it something I need to do in Illustrator? To import graphics into FrameMaker, it's as simple as Import/Graphic. It doesn't ask you anything like "Import image only" or "import entire artboard."It seems intuitively obvious that you'd only want the CONTENT of the artboard, not the whole artboard. Not sure why

Hello,I tried to publish xml file so I get css and html.but it doesn't work well.as you can see above pictures, I want move num4 list to another text frame box.Is it impossible to do it in html? or framemaker doesn't support this?

I am trying to get a table of contents to display chapter numbers for a report I am publishing in FrameMaker. The report is exported into XML from Access, then processed through XSLT to get into a structured format for FrameMaker. I asked a similar question at https://community.adobe.com/t5/framemaker-discussions/building-blocks-in-toc-for-structured-documents/m-p/14390625#M82579, but haven't yet found a suitable answer so I am considering another approach. I have added a read/write rule that converts the XML into several chapters as a part of a book. reader generate book { put element "Chapter" in file; }This works, but when I pull open the document, all of the page and chapter numbering properties are wrong (everything restarts numbering). The problem is that I want to be able to pull in this report over and over as I continue building it out and add things, but to do that I would have to manually click on every single chapter and fix the numbering properties for each

Hello,I have a question but I don't know how to do it.I wish I can get an answer here.I made the master page which has 2 text frame box.I want to write down text into another text frame with structured xml way.Is there any way to do it?

Imported WMFs and EMFs look great in FrameMaker; however, in the PDF (created using File > Save As PDF), lines in the graphics disappear. PDFs and SVGs look fine in the PDF.  Is this an Adobe Acrobat issue or should I be doing something different in FrameMaker? Thanks.

In Adobe Acrobat Pro I save my PDF to my computer, create the link on a separate PDF, and no matter what I do the link will not open once saved. I did this last week with no issues, what am I doing wrong?!?! 

Hi all, Can anyone help with this issue? I have created a TOC and getting the following issue... my TOC is displaying <$pagenum> at the end of every line?

Hi, I've got some conditional text in a text inset. I've noticed that each hidden paragraph still takes up a carriage return in the document - it's just an empty line. It makes the spacing of my document look really strange. Is there any way to keep FrameMaker from creating an empty space where the hidden text is?

Hello again,   Thank you all for your help here.   I have another question.   How do you insert text or insert a new table between existing tables that are right on top of each other in a flow?   In Word, you simply hit a carriage return outside of the table. In FrameMaker, it's a mystery.   Here's what I've got. The red rectangle shows the tiny space between the two tables where I want to insert text. But there is no way to do it, it seems. I'd also like to insert another table in that space.   How do I do this?

 Any information that you can provide concerning the following error message will be appreciated: Background:We are working with the following version of Structured FrameMaker 11 Version: 11.0.0.380.We are in the process of upgrading to Windows 11 and are performing testing on a virtual machine, which we access by remoting into it. This machine has Windows 11 and Amazon Corretto (X64) VERSION 21.0.1.12 deployed to it. We produce financial factsheets that are created by importing an xml file into Structured FrameMaker, which converts the xml file into a set of formatted FrameMaker financial factsheet files. An application has been created that we launch from the FrameMaker menu that parses each of the FrameMaker financial factsheets into individual PDF files. There are groups of factsheets that are produced, ex, Fluctuating, Offshore, Money Market. The sets of Fluctuating factsheets and Offshore factsheets are parsing correctly.

Hello, I'm trying to  make the book with the ditamapbut I have problem now.for example when I take ditamap and xml files from another person and save these as book component but delete first xml file in ditamap, the files are broken or some errors are occured (changing lines not following original form).It seems like there is the setting to form making book.So my question is, is there anyway to set the form of book components? ps. for more detailsif there is ditamap like below1. xml2. xml3. xmlIf I save thes as book 2022 with fm components after I delete 1.xml, results are wrong (it doesn't follow the form of original, like changing lines, using different fonts or master page )

Hello?I want to know about the way to adjust master page with EDD using props or outputclass.is there any way to adjust master page with structured authoring way?Thank u for reading this.I wish I can find the answer.

I got this error:"When you create a PostScript file you must rely on system fonts and use document fonts. Please go to the printer properties, "Adobe PDF Settings" page and turn OFF the option "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts."This strikes me as bad practice. I only want to use system fonts and document fonts will muck me up.That being said, I could not easily find a way to fix this with Acrobat Pro XI. I opened Control Panel (Windows 😎 and found the printer and mucked around in the various ways to get to change the PDF settings (there are several ways, and some of them present the choices as bold and not just regular). I found two separate switches for "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts" and turned both off, BUT that did not work.Frustrated, I went back to FrameMaker and clicked File > Print Setup and then for the PDF printer, Printer Properties. There I found a THIRD instance of "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts"

In the framemake interface the standard menus like File  Edit Insert   Format.... the font is too small. How do I increase it?

I want to add a leader to my mini TOC so that the page numbers are right-aligned. I've added a tab stop to the relevant Paragraph Style (Heading1MTOC style), but that doens't change the formatting. I've tried deleting and re-creating the mini TOC and changing the tab position, but nothing works. I feel like I'm missing something obvious. Any ideas on how I can add the leader? I'm using FrameMaker 17.  What I have: What I want:

I'm looking at a manual made in structured FrameMaker and I am a bit out of my league here. The book file holds a number of TOC's. I'm trying to figure out how these TOC's are put together. I can create a stand alone TOC by defining elements to include, but the TOC file I generate seems to break the structure in the book. And I am not able to insert an element in the books structure. Trying to so just doesn't call up the elements dialogue. Anybody who can point me in the right direction?
